A central focus of the group is the role of the ENS in neurodegenerative diseases. Here, i.e. it could be shown that the ENS also affects the intestinal nervous system in a disease that tends to affect cognitive abilities, such as Alzheimer's disease. In an animal model, changes in the ENS were observed long before changes in the CNS5. This also

The Enteric Nervous System Research Group (AGENS) headed by Prof. KH Schäfer (HS KL) has been working for years on the characterization of the ENS in the context of development, changes in disease patterns, or the use of the enteric neural stem cells contained in it.1,2 First indications of an influence of local inflammation on these neural
